Kelly Clarkson - Piece By Piece (American Idol The Farewell Season) Reaction

[@juancortes4520]

Man, my stepdaughter dedicate that song to me and asked me to adopt her. Now she is my daughter. 😭 tears of happiness.

[@SvdB4]

Congratulations mate!

[@juancortes4520]

Thank you man.

[@ashleysheree7057]

That's beautiful

[@gypsy13291]

Yes, she is your daughter. Congratulations from an adoptee who had a wonderful father like you. ❤️

[@catherine-annehealy3199]

Congratulations to you all Juan and I wish you all well ❤️❤️

[@katritter6482]

"She'll never have to wonder her worth" anyone who has had a parent walk out can relate!

[@simplytitanium7919]

Amen

[@goblintiddy4053]

The classic "if my mother/father couldn't love me how could I expect anyone to"

[@ValerieMurphy-yv8qt]

Sure can relate and now I have 7 daughters and they are everything to me

[@Kanhje1]

When she says "back then I didn't have anything you needed so I was worthless" that hit hard that was some powerful words I can relate to

[@shilohivy4590]

Same

[@Artunleashed69]

Doc..you are so emotional in your responses...your momma did a good job. Empathy is the purest form of love.

[@melissahalbert9455]

my brother is the piano player, and they didn't think she would make it through the song!

[@Sheila612Miller]

@Cord Bullard her brother

[@KimberlyRottieMom]

Amazing talent especially your brother. Beautiful arrangement and accompaniment I wouldn’t have been able to finish

[@Molnou]

I’ve always been amazed with the piano player being able to pick it back up when she lost it. Kudos to your brother.

[@IratePuffin]

He did an awesome job!

[@Meilijay]

Your brother did a wonderful job staying with her during all the emotions. He did amazing.

[@sabinaaternino4092]

I've seen many reviews from different sources. I have to say, YOU are truly a man of integrity, a man that understands. Your review of Kelly Clarkson was truly inspired. In life, we come across horrible life experiences and we move one.. YOU are a gift, always remember. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You are truly beloved.

[@stephanielitton2929]

"She will never have to wonder her worth, because unlike you I'm gonna put her first"

[@AlexSmith-px4gy]

My favorite line too. I know Kelly is singing about her dad but I had a similar experience with my mom.

[@brookebaker6265]

My favorite line too. This line alone speaks volumes!

[@trgoohileshea2820]

Literally one of the most important songs ever recorded. She did what very few artists do...Make your soul reevaluate...

[@jamjam8793]

She wrote this and it is super emotional everytime she sings it which I think is even more beautiful . She also sang this performance at like 8 months pregnant, pregnancy hormones!

[@shyhumphreys1476]

Favorite line is "back then I didnt have anything so I was...worthless" line always gets me!

[@kenspence2802]

I am a Dad who has done everything to stay near my baby girls who are now teenagers. I've done Everything to stay with them. Talk to them every day.

[@neta012]

I kept getting distracted by the gorgeous dog in the background lol My favorite line was "she will never have to wonder her worth because unlike you I'm going to put her first". Powerful song. Great reaction❤

[@jimcovert238]

Kelly was nominated for a Grammy for this performance.

[@spicuusjohnson5474]

“All I remember is your back”... my brother left his wife and 3 kids ages 8,7 and 3. They said they were crying and he never turned around. He got in his truck and left. COWARD!!! I adopted my stepson after we lost his dad who was raising both his kids when I met him. It’s a deep song and affects many lives. It’s sad but nice to know we aren’t alone.

[@amygrimes7825]

All I remember is your "bag". He had packed his bag to leave his family.

[@tderosia72]

Tears 😭 EVERY TIME

[@jamjam8793]

She sang this live and her husband came out. She didnt know he was there. It was beautiful and heartbreaking.

[@reneemenosky873]

That's why she was the 1st American Idol

[@rebeccacunningham9241]

Don't hide the tears real men do cry.

[@realsilly7727]

My favorite Kelly Clarkson song!! I cry every time I hear it! I think that’s what makes great music tho... songs that hit you in the heart! To all the dads in the world... PLEASE STAY! My dad left when I was 1, and I never saw him again... and I’m now 42. Don’t know if he’s even still alive! I now have 3 kids of my own and their dad stayed... thank god!! 🙏🙏

[@HollyO4555]

God has blessed your children to have such a wonderful mother. My father also left before I could even remember what he looked like. My mom nearly refuses to tell me anything about him. It truly takes a strong woman to raise children on their own. I'm not a mother myself but I saw what my mom went through trying to make things "better" and my heart goes out to every single PARENT. I felt the need to specify that it's not just the father that leaves because in media they usually show the father leave but mothers can be equally as guilty of this trauma. Either way, I think I finally snapped out of my emotions (never). I wish your family all the best! ❤

[@realsilly7727]

Holly Owen - you are correct... mothers leave too. For the life of me I can’t imagine how any parent could leave their children.... my purpose is my kids!! I’m sorry we shared similar circumstances with our fathers, but in the end, it’s their loss! My mother also doesn’t say much about my dad, but I can’t say I blame her. He left her with 3 kids, never a dime in child support, worked 3 jobs to keep us cared for and never cared about herself! She is my hero, and I’m so blessed to have her! It’s tough on everyone when either parent leaves... which is why this song is so painfully beautiful!! Take care of yourself!! 🙏

[@MrTurtluv]

This song always gets to me. The only time I’ve ever seen my father is when I look in the mirror ( I look just like him, red hair and all). I’ve never met him, he knew about me but avoided me. So yes, all he was was a sperm donor to me. And no, my boys never wonder if their parents love them. How sad.

[@punkstarsx]

“i made something of my myself and now you wanna come back” that line hit different 🤕

[@justinperez977]

The entirety of the last chorus. From the lyrics themselves to how it’s sung. That last “he’lol love her” high note gives me goosebumps every time.

[@nasskc896]

After so many years watching this...i still couldn't get over it and bawling. Such a great song...impactful. i could only imagine that i will bawl for years to come everytime watching this

[@KimberlyMcBride1971]

What makes it even sadder is that her husband and she are divorcing and he is trying to sue her for ....money...money....She is such a class act and deserves so much better.

[@sickandtired12]

Her Dad ONLY contacted her AFTER she was was famous...FACTS!! Look at J-Lo & Keith Urban!!

[@unapologeticallyamerican307]

Piece by piece he restored my faith that a man could be kind and a father could stay... Love That

[@christinaunander7896]

My favorite line from this song is the WHOLE SONG!

[@sickandtired12]

FACTS!!!

[@Johndixon90]

My dad left my mom when he found out she was pregnant with me, until this day he wants nothing to do with me. Then I ended up in foster care and getting adopted and my adopted dad taught me a lot. Like staying no matter how hard it gets and to never leave your kids.

[@Lolo-zs2eo]

I cried too, and each time I hear it.

[@amandapatch7496]

I absolutely love Kelly. She's so sweet and so real. She's a down to earth what you see is what you get kind of lady.

[@llw53one]

That is pure talent when an artist singing can invoke so much emotion that the entire crowd can feel it. Not to mention that it moves me every time I watch this. Kelly is such a nice person lighthearted good spirit and she can sing her butt off!

[@pamcopeland3992]

Breathtaking...beautiful and at same time so so sad!!!🎵🎼🎶🎵🎶🎼

[@mikemck4796]

It’s a crazy brilliant song. I’ve always liked Kelly but writing this one put her in a different league. Kind of reminded me of Pinks Family portrait.

[@christaharding6600]

“I begged you to want me, but you didn’t want to.” That line is what gets to me the most in this song. I can totally relate. I can hear the little girl in me saying that.

[@msol3270]

That little girl does not heal easy... It takes God's grace and a very kind man to patiently wait for that healing.

[@loralayne2471]

Best song she has ever did.

[@TryMyMartini]

This song makes me appreciate what a wonderful father I have. I love my dad, and he loves me.

[@thomashan4963]

“A father could stay”

[@reneemenosky873]

Cry everytime I hear this cause this really happened to her that's why she wrote it

[@brash_and_sassy]

Favorite line: “Back then I didn’t have anything you needed so I was worthless” I need stitches for how deep that cut.

[@gloriaohara3213]

She wrote it...she's over it now she says on her show...my dad left when I was 8..I tried to reconnect..he was so cold.. I was always never good enough until he needed me at 80 and had dementia.. I like what you said..he was just a Speers donor

[@Bea-Nuh-Luh]

Piece by piece I fell far from the tree I will never leave her like you left me she will never have to wonder he worth by unlike you I’m gonna out her first My entire life summed up in that line

[@jamieheroux6652]

Piece by piece, I fell far from the tree, I'll never leave her like you left me, she will never have to wonder her worth, because unlike you I'm gonna put her first. I love that part

[@marilynfielding167]

an absolute fabulous song. Squeezes your heart strings.

[@elizabethtorres1819]

Love this. This song hits really hard. My father left when I was 11 and never looked back. My husband and I have been together for 18 years and have three children together. He has shown me what a real father should be. Mind you his father left when he was 2. My father still has never meet my kids and they are teenagers now. Thank you for reviewing this song.

[@lauriemoore2592]

My daughters walked out when she was 9 she thought it was because of her, that she did something wrong. She thanked me for stepping up being mom and dad.

[@lillypatty26]

This song gets me in my feels all the time!!

[@carolgage4569]

I love to hear her supporters encouraging her!

[@TraciKReacts]

She does have a connection, her father left when she was a child...its her story

[@Nvr2Kozy]

I Love Watching Your Reaction To This. You Beat Your Chest And Smile Because You Know It All Too Real. That's Your Heart Strings Being Tugged At. This Hits So Close.

[@dissodatore]

best line or at least part of one, "that a father could stay"

[@oliviaprewett6061]

She wrote the song and it’s about her life.

[@kelseybelle895]

I saw her in concert and almost had a little breakdown. So many of us can relate and it’s one of my favorite songs by her 🥰

[@grape4760]

So emotional. Love this. I always had my Dad but I just can't imagine.

[@ShyAnn291]

You should never feel weird about crying to that song, or about anything for that matter, it’s a good thing!

[@billabshire1704]

As being a stepdad myself, I always look at the man who picked up the pieces could be her stepdad.

[@StephonyHamm]

I lost my "real" dad a few years ago, and my line is "he'll never walk away". My dad fought to stay with us. But cancer won. I didn't even know he wasn't my biological dad until I was 28yrs old. But it didn't matter. HE took on 4 kids that weren't his! And He stepped up! And HE stayed! He could be hard, but you know what? He made sure that if he wasn't here for whatever reason, I'd be alright. He helped make me strong! I can stand alone and I will survive whatever life brings. And it has brought me a lot of sorrow and pain. BUT I'm STILL here!

[@dianalmccullough24]

The look on your face when you realized. It's a sad one.

[@LondonTaytum6677]

I’ve always loved this performance and i can NEVER get through it without crying! Amazing performance!!

[@niravgosar2029]

Goosebumps perhaps not but definitely saw those muscles 💪 right there!! Well done friend 😊

[@chantellecline6945]

I cry everytime I watch this video, love the song.

[@lailastinson4169]

Love this reaction! The dog sleeping in the back though😂.

[@rebeccacunningham9241]

It was her step father she was singing about first then her husband.

[@kimfield7335]

I dedicated this song to my stepfather. He saved my life.

[@mickydale8594]

This song always gets me..same situation as Kelly..I cry every time I've heard her sing this..because I know were she drew those words from..

[@slinman100]

New subscriber here-I’m binge watching your videos tonight. And I haven’t stopped crying!

[@osamiface]

the first time I heard this song, I was bawling by the end of the 1st verse. My dad, not only left me, but when my mom asked for child support, he flatly refused. (early 60's) so we went all the way to the Supreme Court, and after I took the stand it was a done deal. I look exactly like him. He never explained why. They had a 7 yr. relationship, even though they were both married to other people. I saw him intermittently as I was growing up, but he never saw a dance recital, he never saw a horse show, and he didn't walk me down the aisle. My heart soul and psyche has been destroyed by him, because before he left, he was my primary caretaker, and we were quite close. Then Suddenly, nothing. for years.

[@williamjamesayers7719]

That's the thing because tomorrow is never promised to us, so parents enjoy the time with your children while they're in your life because you never know when they're gone.

[@_jonasdirection_6974]

this song always gets to me! I was fine until Keith urban started to cry...

[@devlynnnoel311]

This song hits my hard every time I no what she's been through its tuff, xoxox Kelly this song makes me cry every time I hear it

[@stacieshman6250]

It takes a strong person to sing a song about a hard part in her childhood. She has to have found peace to be able to do that. And she kept going through the tears. Amazing song. Amazing person.

[@kyleandrewsmasterson3359]

The whole song is very highly relatable from my childhood

[@dannyt3668]

So sad to hear she's getting divorced...I had such faith given this song 😭

[@briman82]

She wrote this song about her dad she actually went through this

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

My favorite moment was the crowd's cheers of encouragement when she was breaking.

[@reesewithoutaspoon]

Almost as if they were saying It's okay, you don't have to be sorry and apologise

[@directorSandyKCE]

You have a way with words Doc Rich. What a wonderful review!

[@crystalsmith4919]

No child should ever know the feeling of their parents not wanting them! Unfortunately so many of us do! We grow up learning we are only worth as much as we can give. So to all you parents out there tell your kids you love them unconditionally, and show them you mean it! Don't ever ask your child to supplement your happiness, teach them that they are your joy! And never ever give them any reason to believe that your love is conditional, those are scars that don't easily heal!

[@christinagonzalez5997]

This is would sum up the relationship between my 2 sons biological father and their step dad (my wonderful husband who ever though they gave him hell proved he wasn't running away). My husband earned the title of their dad no matter who the sperm donor may of been.

[@apathy9990]

More Kelly! Love so Soft and Whole Lotta Woman. Also any of her MANY hits

[@laurasandy4479]

This song hits home for so many of us. It's beautiful and shows resilience and true inner joy. Your fur-baby is adorable 🧡

[@Jimreb80]

My favorite line... "Takes care of me because he loves me." Hit me really hard.. I come from a bad past. Will leave it at that. Hopefully my son and wife are as proud of me as I am of them. They honestly SAVED my life.. They are my Heroes. Much love and respect.

[@macygrace2978]

This song speaks to me. While my father didn’t physically leave me, he loved me with conditions and wasn’t there for me emotionally That worthless line 😢😭😢 and the I begged you to want me

[@macygrace2978]

“Your love has to be earned” very damaging to not love your child unconditionally

[@macygrace2978]

She wrote this and it’s a sequel to her previous song Because of You. Kelly said she wanted this song to end hopeful

[@karamcdonald1012]

The MOST beautiful piece i have seen in a long time...

[@donnone7295]

Unfortunately her life changed after her son was born. During Covid19 Lockdown her husband and 2 kids spent time in a small cabin and they realized they had different dreams. Kelly's ex-husband Brandon Stockwell, is the stepson of County Music Queen Reba Mcentire. Kelly and Reba have done a few duets together and Kelly's children will always be her Grandkids.

[@sheilashipman2652]

This song, Kelly wrote it herself, it's based on her life. Now she has a daughter & son & her husband is divorcing her. She'll make it own her own, she doesnt need him!!!

[@susanconway6460]

And a father could stay.

[@pamcopeland3992]

Kelly is amazing artist and person ❤ Good luck Kelly! Too many words for me to choose! My daughter and I went through same thing with her dad!

[@blackcat6672]

Absolutely love your reaction!

[@angelalambert6325]

Kelly is real and gives you all the feels. She's my favorite singer of all time. She wrote this song about where her Dad hurt her and abandoned her. I love all her music and she's not afraid to tell about the depression she goes through which I do too. Thanks 😊 y'all for entertaing us through been imprisoned in our homes. My other favorite singer is Bon Jovi ,"Wanted Dead or Alive' or "Bed of Roses'. Next would be Blake Shelton and Gwen Stephani ",Nobody But You" I Love songs that gives you all the feels and true meaning. Check out More of Kelly Clarkson you won't be sorry. And check out the other two songs I suggested. Thanks again 😊

[@hannahkayee831]

The thing about music that I love is that it is open to interpretation. I interpret it different.. my mom was the parent who didn't stay and my father did. It's not only fathers who don't only care about their kids... alot of women wouldn't... if they didn't get a check...

[@sickandtired12]

"And all I remember is your back" that's it.... straight facts Doc Rich....straight facts...Oh every line is too, but that's the feels grabber!!! Tears & chills!! That ending killed me!

[@amygrimes7825]

All I remember is your "bag". He had packed his bag to leave his family.

[@cerisewilson4088]

I can make it without tearing up until she sings that line about being worthless.

[@bobbimccain2385]

This was hard for Kelly to sing because it was her life story. Her Father abandoned her when she was six..

[@pamelaphillps5408]

Yes it's about her dad and her husband. I saw her talk about writing the song and how hard it was. Her dad wasn't a father at all. He had more important things on his mind. He just wanted to take never give. Pretty sad. She did but they are getting a divorce

[@dove1965]

She wrote it, her father walked out. She became popular he wanted his cut. She wrote it for her daughter. She was pregnant with her son doing this performance.

[@kathylivedinthe80s14]

You should listen to 2 songs by Craig Morgan 1. This ain’t nothing 2. The father, my son and the Holy Ghost. The last song is a song he wrote after his son died. Both are amazing songs.

[@williamjamesayers7719]

'A man could be kind and a father could stay.' That's the line that's gonna remain with me. And you could have a 40+ year separation from your father, but you still want those moments to talk to him before you can't say anything anymore to him. My dad's been out of my life pretty much my entire life, but i would the times to talk to him.

[@stacykifworo9589]

Favorite line:Piece by piece I fell far from the tree, I will never leave her like you left me

[@tinaburkhalter6111]

Doc rich you are the best , you give awesome reactions !😍😍

[@pjstevens5196]

This always gets me teary eyed

[@johnmccarron]

Dad's always put your children first!"

[@miagomez2509]

Wow. My stepdad cane into my life 8 years ago. After having a physically abusive father. He saved my life.
